Reported are some findings from a study designed to discover the opinions of science educators about the procedures they used in the development of audio-tutorial (AT) lessons and/or minicourses. (PEB)

As a supplement to the principal reports, a total of 776 verbal behavioral objectives are incorporated in this document relating to the U. S. Naval Academy Self-Paced Physics Course. The objectives are related to the following aspects: physical measurements, frames of reference, significant figures, statics, dynamics, kinematics, electricity, and…

As a supplement to the principal reports, basic revision guidelines, philosophy, and procedures are discussed in this document relating to the U. S. Naval Academy Self-Paced Physics Course. Following a brief course description, analyses are made of the rationale for revision activities, study guide alteration, and content, objective, format, and…

Analyzes a traditional and an innovative course in terms of learning principles, involving Erickson's management methods and Gagne's learning activities. Suggests that learning systems should be designed by applying all principles rather than emphasizing one or two of them. (CC)

A Self-Help Program for Chicano Women. (Editor)

A good introductory course in women's health would consist of all or a variety of issues which would include: the economics of women's health, terminology, hysterectomies, breast cancer, hormone therapy, childbirth, and patient-practitioner relationships. (JN)

Discusses three approaches for constructing the Keller plan (PSI) units including the equal difficulty,'' the logical, and the reinforcement'' unit. Describes systematical reduction in the number of study aids and ample use of student feedback as two characteristics essential to the PSI approach. (CC)

Discusses use of the modified Keller method to teach three semesters of physics courses to groups of 10-12 students. Indicates student performance is markedly improved on the final examinations. (CC)

Samples of the Self-Paced Physics Course materials are presented in this collection for dissemination purposes. Descriptions are included of course objectives, characteristics, structures, and content. As a two-semester course of study for science and engineering sophomores, most topics are on a level comparable to that of classical physics by…

As a supplement to the principal reports, descriptions are given in this report for the development, validation, and installation of the Self-Paced Physics Course at the U. S. Naval Academy. Following an executive summary, an introduction to course characteristics, and an overview of the project, statistical tests are discussed in connection with…

Discusses the design principles and operations of a new program with emphases upon integrated curriculum planning, individually paced instruction, and mastery learning. Indicates that students succeed better both in pre-professional courses and in follow-up engineering courses than do those in conventional courses. (CC)

Describes various physics courses offered at Moline, particularly the conduct of self-pacing programs for grade 10-12 students who are either interested in the topic or planning further study in science. Indicates tremendously increasing enrollments with the adoption of the new instruction method. (CC)

A report on the development and tryout of an individualized chemistry program is presented in this monograph, based on the 1969 pilot-test results obtained from the P. K. Yonge Laboratory School and the 1970-72 field test findings from public schools in Florida. The purpose of introducing this program is to help teachers in adopting more…
